These Baseball Weightlifting Workouts
Improve Your Performance On The Field

by Joshua Tapp


baseball weightlifting workouts


Baseball weightlifting workouts should be designed to build power, strength, and explosiveness. A baseball player needs to be as strong, powerful, and explosive as possible for hitting, fielding, throwing, and running.

It's not all about hitting. It's not all about throwing. You should strive to be a complete player. Trust me -- been there, done that. If I had only had speed, I would have gone to a big time school to play baseball.

I just wish I had the coaching to help me improve my speed. I could hit (never struck out -- hit the gaps), I could field (always making great plays and the routine plays), had a great arm, was quick... I was just slow running the bases. I was a smart baserunner, but I just didn't have the speed I needed.

In order to make it big, you need to become as complete a baseball player as possible. I'm not going to get into the different strategies for getting better in each area, BUT I am going to help you stronger through weight training. If you are serious about becoming a great baseball player, weight lifting is something you MUST do.

And you need more than just a weight training program. You need a complete program: weight training, proper nutrition, proper rest, proper recovery, dynamic stretching, foam rolling, tracking results, making adjustments, etc.

We've got everything you need to help you become stronger and more powerful on the field. Make sure to sign up below to get your free copy of the WLC System Manual... it's free so you have nothing to lose.

The stronger, more powerful, and more explosive you can be, the better you are going to perform each game.

You will hit for a higher average and especially more power. Your fielding will improve. Your arm strength will be amazing. Your injuries will greatly decrease. Your base running will improve.

Weight lifting really can help you become a much better baseball player BUT you need to know how to do it the right way.

Baseball weightlifting workouts should focus on compound weightlifting exercises that work the entire body as a single unit because baseball uses the entire body for every vital movement and play that you make.

Is that all, though? No, of course not...

Then, you should focus on developing the muscles that are vital for the movements you make in baseball. For example, you can really mimic the hitting movement by doing a certain exercise explosively.

Now, let's get to the actual workout...

You're going to have two different workouts that you will be alternating throughout the weeks. Ensure that you know how to do the exercises properly before lifting explosively. This may take you some time to learn...

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7
Workout A Rest Workout B Rest Workout A Rest Rest

Repeat Workout A and Workout B like so: A, B, A, B, A, B, and so on. Here's what you need to do each workout:

Workout A
  1. Barbell Squats, 5x5
  2. Bench Press, 5x5
  3. Pendlay Rows, 5x5
  4. Dips, 3xF
  5. Cross Body Rev Curl, 3xF
Workout B
  1. Front Squats, 5x5
  2. Overhead Press, 5x5
  3. Barbell Deadlifts, 5x5
  4. Chin Ups, 3xF
  5. Overhead Cable Ext, 3xF


5x5 = 5 sets of 5 reps with the same weight. Increase weight by 5 pounds once you complete all 5 sets for 5 reps at a given weight.

3xF = 3 sets to failure or until you can't complete another full rep. You can start adding resistance with a belt to dips and chin ups if you like and keep reps to around 5 or so on those exercises. Keep reps to around 6 to 8 for exercise #5 on both workouts A and B.

Always warm up properly for every workout.

The cross body reverse curl must be done with a cable system and should be done one arm at a time. Mimic the hitting motion with each arm. Do each rep explosively as you were hitting.

Start with light weights, and only increase when you complete each set with good form. Make sure to get a good contraction by flexing your knuckles toward your forearm at the end of each rep.


The overhead cable extension will mimic the throwing motion and should be done one arm at a time. Do both arms to keep a good balance even though you throw with only one arm.

The key to baseball weightlifting workouts is lifting explosively and making progress each workout. Continue the workout as long as you are making progress. Once you have trouble increasing the weight on most exercises, take a 1 week break and then start again.

Start a little heavier than the previous workout cycle and increase the weight as often as possible BUT only when you have good form.

Stick to this consistently, eat a good diet packed with nutritious foods, and watch your performance on the field improve. You're going to be pleasantly surprised.

Totally Blown Away by the WLC System...


Hi Josh,

Greetings from Australia, mate. I received your WLC Program recently and have only just got to emailing you (reason being I took quite a while exploring the entire package!!!).

I have to admit that over the past years I've purchased many programs via the internet and I can say with complete honesty that I have *never, ever*, had the pleasure of receiving one such as yours!!!

I was totally blown away by everything, from the log books, the big beefy manual, right on through to all those fantastic calculators! It comes through that you really put your all into the package. I've seen all those programs which claim to 'lay it all out for you ... paint by numbers ... take you step-by-step', etc.but only one is deserving of these claims ... and it's yours.

I especially found the goal setting information to be very, very comprehensive and so well laid out. I've read goal setting books, articles, websites, etc. but never really applied any of it to my endeavours in the gym.

Your system will have me going after my dream body with a vengeance, as I will be commencing the program this coming Monday.

In previous years I was a chronic "routine/program hopper"; I'd spot yet another new system I thought I would follow and away I'd go ... for about 3 weeks if I was lucky!

Despite all that, during some years I'd build a little muscle, lose a little fat and start looking reasonable, then slack off. I have a well equipped home gym which includes everything you recommend.

I have always been good with my meal choices but the bottom line is I was never consistent with anything!!!!

I have a very strong feeling all that is about to end - pronto! I'm really looking forward to starting the program Monday 30th August, and totally looking forward to some *real results at last*.

Oh, by the way I am 56 years old and my long-term goal is to have an awesome physique at 60 in comparison to the average one I had at 30. Thank you once again for putting out such a terrific and very complete program - I will not have any hesitation in recommending it to everyone I know.

Cheers,
Gary McDonald
